I'm still a teen with a 18.4 - 20.4 % bodyfat i still have a decent amount of years till i finish puberty.
im 175 - 177 CM (im not sure lmao) and 70 kg (155 pounds).
would cutting make me taller? or would it stunt my growth?
(I'm not planning on cutting for more than a month or two, till i reach 14% bodyfat)

can i see a pic of you?
 
estrogen after a certain threshold fuses your epiphyseal plates, stunting growth. (too little estrogen will stunt growth also.)

"Our data suggest that (i) epiphyseal fusion is triggered when the proliferative potential of growth plate chondrocytes is exhausted; and (ii) estrogen does not induce growth plate ossification directly; instead, estrogen accelerates the programmed senescence of the growth plate, thus causing earlier proliferative exhaustion and consequently earlier fusion."

but if your plates are already fused, i wonder if estrogen will make you taller. i see zero research i been looking for research about it but ran out of energy, all the studies seem to be about epiphyseal plates.
